MycoSonic MK1

Introduction

Welcome to the MycoSonic MK1, an Arduino-based interface designed for transforming biological signals, specifically from mushrooms, into a unique auditory experience. This README provides an overview of its features, setup, and usage.

Features

• Signal Processing: Advanced processing of input signals with a variety of filters and mappings.
• Dynamic Waveforms: Support for Sine, Triangle, Square, and Sawtooth waveforms.
• Input Options: Capability to receive data from biosensors or SD cards.
• Audio Effects: A range of audio effects including Phase Modulation, Tremolo, Bit Crusher, and more.
• Customizable Scales and Timing: Adjustable BPM, note duration, and support for multiple musical scales.
• Output Flexibility: Options for audio output, SD card data logging, and MIDI output.

Hardware Requirements

• Arduino (ATmega2560) board
• Biosensor AD8232 (analog output to A0)
• SD card module (optional)
• Audio output module (compatible with Mozzi library)
• LCD (with 4-pinned driver) and input buttons for menu navigation

Setup

1. Hardware Setup: Connect the biosensor, SD card, and audio output module to the Arduino (PINOUT).
2. Install Libraries: Ensure libraries like Mozzi, SPI, and others necessary for your hardware are installed in the Arduino IDE.

Usage

1. Start: Power on the Arduino to view the main menu on the LCD.
2. Navigate: Use the input buttons to navigate the menu.
3. Configure:
   • Select input source (Sensor/SD Card).
   • Adjust filtering and mapping settings.
   • Set waveform and audio effects.
4. Operate: After configuration, the device will process signals and output audio based on your settings.

Advanced Features

• Filter Options: Moving average, low/high pass, notch, median, and Kalman filters.
• Scale Mapping: Supports various musical scales.
• Effect Customization: Enable/disable and arrange audio effects.

Troubleshooting

• No Audio Output: Check audio module connections and configuration.
• Signal Processing Issues: Calibrate the sensor and adjust filter settings.
• Menu Navigation Problems: Ensure input buttons are functioning properly.
